Hi, I have completely lost my touch with RedHat, so I hope someone can understand and help me here.

I am using RHEL 5.4
Here is my requirement.
- The ultimate aim is to install LAMP using yum.
- The Apache Spec (httpd.spec) is customized, like the location of the apache installation is /usr/local/apache2 rather than /usr.
So I need to compile apache source code using this customized apache spec.
- I need to then install this apache using YUM.


So my understanding is I need to compile apache , then add into yum repository or something like that, so that yum can be used to install apache.

Thanks for your help.

Why do you need to install it with yum? yum itself is just a repository management / dependency tool, it doesn't actually install anything, it's still the RPM libraries underneath doing it. So if you do install something via yum automagically, or install manually using the rpm command locally on the box, the end result will be exactly the same.

'yum localinstall my-httpd-...'
or : 'yum --nogpgcheck localinstall my-httpd-...'

can be used, if there are some dependencies to
be fetched from the repo during the install.

.....

Thanks. This did not solve my issue.

Where can I get a list of dependencies for the latest apache stable version (2.2.14 + with patch).

Cheers,
Jads

This package, the httpd-2.2.13 source code ...
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...4.fc12.src.rpm
> > httpd-2.2.13-4.fc12.src.rpm → → the file 'httpd.spec' ...
Please read the lines "BuildRequires:" to know the dependencies.

And I just found this : httpd-2.2.14-1.fc13.src.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...1.fc13.src.rpm
